News Report: Fewer helmets leads to surge in deaths

[UhOhErk]

Just got this sent to me this mourning I thought its was an intresting article. I wonder how Florida law makers will respond to the increases in deaths.

Motorcycle registration rates were about 50 percent higher in states without universal helmet laws compared with states with them, it said.
I guess some people wont ride a motorcycle unless they can be reconized or avoid helmet hair.

its real easy to recognize someone with most of their face torn off too I guess...

I don't care if less people ride because of helmet laws. I'd prefer all the squids quit anyway.

ironic story in florida. the pres of A.B.A.T.E. in florida yelled and polled for years to get the helmet law repealed. shortly after it was repealed, she died in a motorcycle accident.

gotta watch what you pray for i guess

i'm not a proponent of the helmet LAW but if you don't wear it you should be required to carry a minimun 100K insurance policy so i don't have to pay your medical bills when you become a vegetable

Hmmm...so is the head of an 18 y/o rider that much sotfer than that of a 22 y/o or something??? Age restriction and helmet requirement? I like my helmet, it matches my bike (kinda). I need my head for sure.
